Hey girls
This is just a little post to share with you a small collection of some of my favourite nail designs I had over the last year. I have acrylic nails done once every 3 weeks and as you can see from the pics I don't usually opt for the classic french style! Once the acrylic extension is in place the nails are then decorated with many different colourful and sparkly 3d pieces.
These nails aren't obviously to every ones taste and are certainly very loud and proud but I like to have something a little different and fun and I always get a lot of comments and compliments on them. I think I will make a post on my latest nail design a regular feature on my blog so hopefully it will be something you guys would be interested in seeing.
Now I don't know about you but I kind of have a love hate relationship with the January sales. Obviously love that you can pick up some really good bargains. Hate that after over spending on Christmas presents that I'm strapped for cash. Hate that a lot of shops **cough River Island cough** drag out stock from years ago and I'm not joking when I say I saw a top in there a few weeks ago that I brought when I was 17...... I'm now 23!! Hate that after buying things at full price for Christmas presents that just a day later you could of brought it all at half price and saved a small fortune. So I decided to give my local shopping centre a miss but couldn't resist a little brows online.
I don't normally shop from Dorothy Perkins but I remember seeing the Kardashian kollection (I find the K extremely annoying on the word collection!) in my local store and being really impressed with the range so I checked the website to see if there were any bargains to be had and I wasn't disappointed! Almost all of the range was half price with an extra 10% off at the check out so for £48.60 I got 3 items, a dress, a jacket and a top. At full price this would have come to £120!
Here's what I brought
Overall I am really impressed with the quality of these pieces and definitely think they look more high priced than what they were. The only slight niggle I have with this range is that given that it is supposed to be tailored to the more curvy figured woman I don't feel that the size guide is correct. Thankfully I read the reviews of each item before I purchased and many reviews said to buy a size up from what you usually are and this was definitely good advice as the clothing does come up on the small side. However even though I went by this rule the cropped jacket doesn't fasten around me as it should as it doesn't fit! It fits perfectly in every other way but just doesn't do up but I think I will just wear it un done as I think the next size up will be too big. I'm not sure whether the range is just a one off or if there will be new pieces launched this year but I will be keeping a eye out and would definitely purchase again.
Hello beauties! Hope you have all had a wonderful Christmas. I spent my day at home and then between my parents house and my boyfriends parents too. We had the traditional Christmas dinner, lots of lovely presents, a good dose of Christmas telly and topped of with plenty of drink and festive nibbles! Before the big day me and my boyfriend went to Winter wonderland in Hyde park in London which was a lovely way to get in the festive spirit. Here's a few pics from my Christmas week.
Welcome to the new Powder paint n pout!
Today I made the decision to delete my old blog and start fresh. I felt it no longer represented the way I wanted it to come across and I think this was the reason I had lost my interest and no longer posted. When I think of the blogs that I enjoy reading they have simplistic layouts and the posts are to the point where as I felt mine was over cluttered and full of rambling! I was also fed up of the breaks of months I had left between post.
Now I am no technical genius and I must say I have struggled today to get the layout together and its still not perfect but for now it will do! Hopefully when I get back in the flow with blogger I can make some further adjustments.
I also wanted to say thank you to all of you that follow and I hope that this new blog is something you will continue to read.
I will also be back to twitter which I use solely for this blog.
As always I really appreciate your comments and feed back and I am really looking forward to re connecting with all of you amazing bloggers!
